That's the thing, the game is already online only, why do they need anti piracy DRM on top of it?
I think it may be more anti-cheat than anti-piracy, but Denuvo in particular can fuck itself
It`s a co-op game, who cares about cheaters?
IIRC payday 2 had glacially slow progression at launch. Now what if you could simply pay some (more) money to skip those boring early levels this time around?
Okay, so I wouldn't care, but yeah if they want to sell progression…
I looked into it some more and it seems there was a "shady" script you could use to grant yourself any piece of paid dlc you wanted, so The Money People probably asked how they could ensure that doesn't happen again and just didn't care about the drawbacks for regular people.
Oh believe me, people got hyphy in PD2 about mods and stuff, even HUDs and QOL mods got peoples' hackles up.
That's dumb. Those people suck. :P
The PD2 community's fuckin' weird sometimes.
The people that make money off of it's monetization. I'll have to assume they'll have some sort of season pass.
I don't see any reason for denuvo to impose region restrictions and I hope that isn't the case considering online stores already do this!
